|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium. Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data: # -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from # the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the # percpu data area are created by this method. # # The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the # original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base # kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full # 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.

* powerpc/oprofile: Fix marked events support on Power7+ not set.Carl E. Love2012-09-071-1/+99
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with Power 7+ we need to check for marked events if the SIAR register is valid, i.e. it contains the correct address of the instruction at the time the performance counter overflowed. The mmcra register on Power 7+, contains a new bit to indicate that the contents of the SIAR is valid. If the event is not marked, then the sample is recorded independently of the SIAR valid bit setting. For older processors, there is no SIAR valid bit to check so the samples are always recorded. This is done by forcing the cntr_marked_events bit mask to zero. The code will always record the sample in this case since the bit mask says the event is not a marked event even if it really is a marked event.

* powerpc: Rename 64-bit PVR constants to PVR_fooMichael Ellerman2012-09-051-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have an old FIXME in reg.h which points out that we should standardise on PVR_foo for our PVR #defines. Currently we use PVR_ on 32-bit and PV_ on 64-bit. So do that rename and remove the FIXME. Seeing as we're touching all but one usage of __is_processor(), rename it to something less ugly and more indicative of what it does, which is simply to check the PVR version.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0837e3242c73566fc1c0196b4ec61779c25ffc93 fixes a situation on POWER7 where events can roll back if a specualtive event doesn't actually complete. This can raise a performance monitor exception. We need to catch this to ensure that we reset the PMC. In all cases the PMC will be less than 256 cycles from overflow.

* oprofile/fsl emb: Don't set MSR[PMM] until after clearing the interrupt.Scott Wood2010-10-141-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On an arch 2.06 hypervisor, a pending perfmon interrupt will be delivered to the hypervisor at any point the guest is running, regardless of MSR[EE]. In order to reflect this interrupt, the hypervisor has to mask the interrupt in PMGC0 -- and set MSRP[PMMP] to intercept futher guest accesses to the PMRs to detect when to unmask (and prevent the guest from unmasking early, or seeing inconsistent state). This has the side effect of ignoring any changes the guest makes to MSR[PMM], so wait until after the interrupt is clear, and thus the hypervisor should have cleared MSRP[PMMP], before setting MSR[PMM]. The counters wil not actually run until PMGC0[FAC] is cleared in pmc_start_ctrs(), so this will not reduce the effectiveness of PMM.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-302-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror. The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's being fixed. The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds. The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror, that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

* powerpc: Fix oprofile sampling of marked events on POWER7Maynard Johnson2009-05-151-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Description ----------- Change ppc64 oprofile kernel driver to use the SLOT bits (MMCRA[37:39]only on older processors where those bits are defined. Background ---------- The performance monitor unit of the 64-bit POWER processor family has the ability to collect accurate instruction-level samples when profiling on marked events (i.e., "PM_MRK_<event-name>"). In processors prior to POWER6, the MMCRA register contained "slot information" that the oprofile kernel driver used to adjust the value latched in the SIAR at the time of a PMU interrupt. But as of POWER6, these slot bits in MMCRA are no longer necessary for oprofile to use, since the SIAR itself holds the accurate sampled instruction address. With POWER6, these MMCRA slot bits were zero'ed out by hardware so oprofile's use of these slot bits was, in effect, a NOP. But with POWER7, these bits are no longer zero'ed out; however, they serve some other purpose rather than slot information. Thus, using these bits on POWER7 to adjust the SIAR value results in samples being attributed to the wrong instructions. The attached patch changes the oprofile kernel driver to ignore these slot bits on all newer processors starting with POWER6.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the IBM Cell processor. Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling. The addition of SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code various SPU evnets are occuring. This should help users further identify issues with their code. Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW constraints. Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node. The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling. The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling. The user tool check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling. Signed-off-by: Carl Love <carll@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

* | shrink struct dentryNick Piggin2009-01-011-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's sad to see it going neglected. With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab. I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on... I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant: why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection. At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it would require 4. I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for 33-36 byte names. Performance is a feature...

* powerpc/cell/OProfile: Fix on-stack array size in activate spu profiling ↵Carl Love2008-10-311-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | function The size of the pm_signal_local array should be equal to the number of SPUs being configured in the array. Currently, the array is of size 4 (NR_PHYS_CTRS) but being indexed by a for loop from 0 to 7 (NUM_SPUS_PER_NODE). This could potentially cause an oops or random memory corruption since the pm_signal_local array is on the stack. This fixes it.

This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data. Data is added to the buffers from in interrupt context. The data is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the mutex lock. The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers. Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by incrementing the per CPU buffer stats. This eliminates the need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool maintainer. The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it is no longer needed given this patch. Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays by the spu number. This still needs to be fixed as the spu numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The file arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c is currently only compiled for 64-bit kernels. It contain code to register CPU sysdevs in sysfs and add various properties such as cache topology and raw access by root to performance monitor counters (PMCs). A lot of that can be re-used as is on 32-bits. This makes the file be built for both, with appropriate ifdef'ing for the few bits that are really 64-bit specific, and adds some support for the raw PMCs for 75x and 74xx processors.
